Hint for ppl who dont happen to have a spare 100,000 lying around from their GT3 A-spec save game. On day one go straight to second hand late 90's cars and buy the EK 97 Honda Civic Tye-R for $9990 This can win all races in the sunday cup with ease. Then sell the car you win as a prize....about $8800 from memory Then go buy a fully Customized gearbox and a racing flywheel (fit both). Set the gearbox to '6' for acceleration and your off and racing. With a bit of skill you should be able to win gold in the next series of events the FF cup :D with that money you win from the second series go out and buy a FR, MR etc.
